WELCOME TO THE DAILIES THREAD!

Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc.. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There’s a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners, from injury to running. We're all a little crazy here, too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you’ll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up, and stay a while (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours here.

Good morning gang! Today is a SRD for me. I will hit almost 40 miles this week. It will be my biggest mileage week since coming back from injury. I hear the coffee brewing. One cup of "wake up" coming up! Good luck to all of you racing today and tomorrow! Have a great day all! God bless.

I am released from mom duties for the day to have fun running. First up, a 5k with several big hills - that ends with a bag of apples for every finisher and fresh apple cider instead of Gatorade.Then, hustle through/across town to a park for the start of a 6-hour run on a 2.9-mile trail loop. No goals for this, just having fun (though 26.2 for the day OR for the 6-hour is in the back of my head). I've never been on these trails before, even though it's less than 20 miles from my house. They are planning a cookout after the run, so I'll probably stick around to talk running and life for a while.

Then, I will sleep. Especially since I didn't sleep well last night.

Holy cow Step! A 5K race followed by a 6 hour run! That is a lot of time on your feet. Good luck!

Out to breakfast at our usual haunt this morning, now drinking my 'Bucks coffee. Hubby has his 20 miler on the rail trail scheduled today, so I'll decide later if it will be a bike ride or run while he's out.

Morning! Ran 11.5 last night, so my LRs are creeping back up. The lungs were ready, the legs not so much. I was planning for 11, but was slow enough that I was almost to 2 hours when I got there, so I kept going. My log says I've run 999.9 miles so far this year.

SUS- Congrats on the 40!

Step- Have a great time! I don't know that I would want anything apple before a 6-hour run myself!

Phil- Hope MBC has a good run!

D- You're just about 1 LR behind the pace bunny!

LRB- Get out there and run!

Oski- Enjoy your day!

Marjorie- Nice run! I was thinking about you on my run yesterday when I needed to get to an even amount of time, then kept going because I needed to get to an even amount of mileage, hehe. I don't even really like to run odd-numbered miles.
